Introduction

I received my Computer Science PhD degree from Columbia University. During my PhD studies, I was supervised by Prof. Luca Carloni as part of the System-Level Design Group, conducting research on computer architectures, specialized hardware accelerators, and heterogeneous system-level design, with a particular focus on edge devices and brain-computer interfaces (BCIs).

I have been a key member working on the BISC project, funded by the DARPA NESD program, which focuses on developing implantable BCIs that deliver unprecedented neural data resolution and throughput, revolutionizing the interaction between the brain and the digital world. As part of this role, I lead the digital design, RTL design, data-flow architecture, and hardware-software co-design, for the implantable and wearable components of the system.

My PhD disseration: "System-Level Design in the Era of Brain-Computer Interfaces".

Currently, I work as a Postdoctoral Research Scientist in the Bioelectronic Systems Lab, Electrical Engineering Department, Columbia University, managed by Prof. Ken Shepard, where I continue to focus on research and development of implantable, wireless, large-scale, and AI-powered BCIs.

My research interests include Heterogeneous System-on-Chip Architectures, Hardware-Software Co-Design, AI Hardware Accelerators, High-Level Synthesis, RTL Design, and Cryptography.
